I'm very underwhelmed this season. Sam and Dean don't even seem like they want to be there anymore. Any the last episode where they introduced the spin off? I don't think I'll be following that one.

My theory is this. J&J are old. They're parents now. They want to go off and raise their families and not do SPN anymore. I think they want to get a spinoff going (apparently they're going to try another spinoff idea) so the boys can pop in sometimes and they can cancel the main show.

ALSO. I think that the people who make the show have never had any idea where it's going, and that w/o a set endpoint they're just lost and confused.

I still love it, but.

Yes yes yes. I agree that they're probably tired of playing the same characters and want to move on with their lives too, but overall the show is suffering a lot from trying to come up with a bigger, badder Big Bad every season, with no actual resolution in sight. I suppose at this point my ideal endpoint would just be Sam and Dean not being crassholes to each other anymore. Buffy lasted 7 seasons and struggled a bit with the same stuff, at the end of that show it was getting a little ridiculous. But at least they saved a lot of the personal drama/existential stuff/character conflict for later seasons so it kept it interesting. Supernatural has had that stuff since day 1, and it's getting a little frustrating. Sam and Dean's determination to each undo themselves to save the other (or the world) no matter the damage is getting old.

The spin-off wasn't Ghostfacers, right? Because that's the spin-off they should've made like three seasons ago.

there was a great post about better spinoff ideas and ghost facers was mentioned. also mentioned, jodi runs a school for hunters, a la facts of life. and prequel stuff. and bobby stuff. and garth stuff.

All of those are a better idea than the monster mafia thing they had going (especially with the groan-worthy acting. Seriously, they have extras that are better actors than the people they had in that spin-off).

Everyone dies! Most of them get better! That beardy guy can disappear!

You mean Bobby?

You god damned MONSTER.

First time posting in this thread and I'm just dying to know if the show gets better after Season 6. My partner and I were LOVING Supernatural and then the whole apocalypse/ soulless Sam thing dragged on forever. (My apologies if I'm in the minority and everyone here loved those episodes/seasons.) We kind of lost interest in the show, and I'm wondering if we should hang in there because it gets better. Many thanks!
